The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 536 535 Jingzhou Changes Owner (7)

The barbarians retreated, but Zhang Fei was willing to give up, and he led the Shanyue army to chase after him. After chasing and killing for seven or eight miles, he withdrew his troops and returned to the camp.

Zhu Ran waited at the gate of the camp with Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, Ling Cao and others, watching Zhang Fei bring the Shanyue Army back triumphantly, his face filled with uncontrollable joy.

If Zhang Fei hadn't led troops to attack suddenly this time, it is estimated that the wave of barbarians led by Sha Moke had already entered the camp, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhu Ran's troops are not many, and when he came to attack Lingling this time, he thought he could take Lingling into his pocket, but he didn't want to encounter a stubborn counterattack.In addition, the soldiers were not acclimatized to the climate. The Guangzhou area where they were located was located in the south, so there was no snow. The major officers and soldiers were not quite used to this harsh weather. Many had fevers and colds, and some even suffered from severe wind chills.

Zhu Ran had no choice but to leave all these sick soldiers in the area of ​​Jiuyi Mountain, reducing a lot of soldiers at once.And Zhu Ran himself even went into battle with an illness. He suffered severe wind and cold, had a headache and a runny nose. After his first attack on Lingling City failed, he retreated [-] li and hid in the camp, recuperating while waiting for reinforcements. .

However, what Zhu Ran never imagined in his dreams was that Lingling had few soldiers and was tough enough to defend the city, so he dared to come to sneak attack.Zhu Ran was unprepared, but was caught off guard by Shamoke.

Zhang Fei rode a war horse and brought the Shanyue army who had returned in triumph to the gate of Zhu Ran's camp. He saw Zhu Ran's complexion was dark yellow, his lips were white, and his eyes were dull. Ling Cao and the others were all wounded, and they couldn't help but think to themselves, "It seems that the barbarian king Shamoke has caused a lot of serious injuries to them."

In addition, the fence around the barracks was destroyed, and there were corpses strewn about everywhere outside the camp, including Zhu Ran's subordinates and many barbarians. The blood had already stained the land red, and the white snow The hot blood melted, forming swamps, and because of the freezing weather, they re-frozen and turned into colorful ice surfaces. The bloody smell in the air did not dissipate for a long time, and they rushed towards human nose.

"General Zhang came from afar. I should have gone to meet him personally, but who would have thought that he would be ambushed by the enemy, and he would need General Zhang to help me out. I'm really ashamed." Zhu Ran walked forward Go, hugged Zhang Fei, and said slowly.

Zhang Fei said: "They're all on our own, so you don't need to be so polite. Your army has been hit hard, so take a good rest these days, and leave the rest to me."

Zhu Ran hastily said: "General Zhang must not underestimate the enemy. Although Pang Ji, the prefect of Lingling, is a corrupt Confucian, he is very capable. He even tricked the people of the county to fight against us. No matter where we go, we will always meet We encountered some inexplicable attacks, which made it impossible for us to cope. Besides, Pang Ji did not know where to find a barbarian army. The barbarian army was extremely powerful, and they were the leaders of this barbarian army. The barbarian king named Sha Moke, this man is brave and good at fighting, with extraordinary force, he is by no means an idler, if General Zhang did not arrive in time, we are afraid..."

Zhang Fei didn't wait for Zhu Ran to finish speaking, and said: "I know Shamoke better than any of you. When I led the army just now, Shamoke didn't lead the barbarians to fight against me, but It’s a U-turn and ran, don’t you see why?”

Zhu Ran and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that Zhang Fei had been in Jingnan for a long time, and Wuling and Lingling lived in a place mixed with barbarians. I don't know about Zhang Fei's existence. Perhaps, the two of them had met before.

In fact, what Zhu Ran and the others guessed was not false. When Liu Bei served as the governor of Jingnan, he had intersected with barbarians. Samoke was the largest barbarian king between Wuling and Lingling, with tens of thousands of barbarians. When Liu Bei ruled Jingnan, in order to ease the conflict between the Han people and the barbarians, he hired Samoke as the chief historian of Wuling, and recruited [-] barbarians to serve Guan Yu, and implemented the policy of using barbarians to rule barbarians.

Therefore, there have been intersections between Shamoke and Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.However, the good times didn’t last long. During Shamoke’s tenure as the chief historian of Wuling, because his living habits were restricted and he was often restricted by rules and regulations, Shamoke himself resigned from the position of the chief historian of Wuling and returned to the barbarians. In his tribe, he became his barbarian king and could do whatever he wanted.

After that, Sha Moke also asked Liu Bei for food and money many times, but Liu Bei did not satisfy these unreasonable demands of Sha Moke, which made Sha Moke hate Liu Bei.

After that, Sha Moke personally led the barbarians, pretending to be thieves, to cause chaos between Wuling and Lingling, burning, killing and looting the Han people, and bewitching Guan Yu's [-] barbarians to rebel, and once captured Wuling County.

Later, Liu Bei responded quickly and sent Zhang Fei to lead an army to suppress the rebellion. He united with some of Guan Yu's remnants and attacked back and forth. Jiangsha Moke was defeated. Even Shamoke himself almost lost his life. He was stabbed by Zhang Fei with a spear. From then on, Shamoke dared not step into the territory of the Han people again.

However, the power of the barbarians was too great after all. Liu Bei was afraid that Shamoke would incite the entire barbarian tribe to be against him, so he sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei deep into the barbarian tribes to negotiate with the barbarian king Shamoke, and finally confirmed the non-aggression treaty between the two sides. And Sha Moke also knew the power of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei because of the last battle, and he didn't dare to do it again, so he agreed to the treaty.

However, after the news of Liu Bei's death reached Jingnan, Shamoke was overjoyed when he heard the news.Originally, he planned to lead the barbarians to raid Wuling and Lingling, but unexpectedly, the prefect of Lingling, Pang Ji, sent people to the barbarian tribe and was willing to spend a lot of money to hire Shamoke to fight for him.

Shamoke is more greedy, so he asked Pang Ji for double the commission. Pang Ji was at a critical moment, and thought that as long as Shamoke was willing to send troops to help, the double price would not be a big deal.Therefore, Pang Ji agreed to Sha Moke's request, and first sent half of the commission to Sha Moke as a sincerity to let Sha Moke send troops, and then gave the rest after defeating the invading enemy.

Seeing Pang Ji's sincerity, Shamoke led [-] barbarians to Quanling, the county town of Lingling County, without any hesitation. Without further ado, Ke immediately led his army out from behind Zhu Ran. Zhu Ran and others were killed by surprise, and the barbarians were also very brave, so Zhu Ran's attack was blocked and he had to withdraw his troops.

A few days later, according to Pang Ji's instructions, Sha Moke quietly led the barbarians around Zhu Ran's camp, and then launched an attack suddenly.That's how today's battle started.

However, what surprised Sha Moke was that he didn't know that Zhang Fei would lead the army to come. When Sha Moke was attacking Zhu Ran's camp with ease, a sturdy army suddenly came behind him, and he turned his head. Suddenly seeing Zhang Fei's familiar face, he suddenly remembered the injury on his arm. Although the wound had healed, it seemed to be in pain again at this moment, as if reminding him to stay away from Zhang Fei.

So, without saying a word, Sha Moke immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, not daring to fight Zhang Fei, and was very embarrassed when he fled. Instead, he was chased by Zhang Fei for seven or eight miles, and nearly a thousand barbarians died. Get away with it.

Zhang Fei led the Shanyue Army and temporarily rested in Zhu Ran's camp. He recharged his batteries and prepared to attack Quanling tomorrow. He also invited Zhu Ran, Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, Ling Cao and others to assist in the attack. The battle took Quanling City.

At the same time, Shamoke led the defeated barbarians back to Quanling City in a very embarrassing situation.

Pang Ji, the prefect of Lingling, was standing on the tower. Seeing that Shamoke had fled back in such a panic, he hurried down the tower to meet Shamoke and ask what happened.

"King Sha, why did you come back in such a state of embarrassment? Zhu Ran's army shouldn't be able to beat you like this!" Pang Ji is an old man in his 50s. People, but it makes Zhu Ran a headache.

Shamoke waved his hand, sighed heavily, and said, "Oh! Don't mention it, I am leading an army to storm Zhu Ran's camp. As long as you give me half a stick of incense, Zhu Ran's camp will definitely be destroyed by us." Break through. But who would have thought that Zhang Fei suddenly led an army to kill from behind me. I couldn't beat Zhang Fei, and I didn't dare to fight him head-on. The entire army has been wiped out, and if the prefect wants to see me again, he can only go to the underworld to find me."

After hearing Shamoke's words, Pang Ji frowned immediately, and asked hastily, "Who did you say was here? Zhang Fei?"

Sha Moke nodded heavily, and said, "That's right, I will never forget that face in my life, it is Zhang Fei."

"Why did Zhang Fei appear here? And he helped Zhu Ran attack you?" Pang Ji fell into deep thought immediately, and said to himself, "Could it be...Could it be that Zhang Fei has already taken refuge in Jiangdong's Sun Quan?"

The news that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had taken refuge with Sun Quan in Jiangdong did not reach Jingnan, and only a few people knew about it.But Pang Ji was by no means one of those few people, so Pang Ji didn't know the news that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had defected to Jiangdong Sun Quan at all.

Pang Ji suddenly saw Zhang Fei here, and also helped Zhu Ran deal with Sha Moke. His mind quickly started to spin, and he immediately thought of this possibility.

"If Zhang Fei really turns to Sun Quan, it will be difficult to deal with. Moreover, Zhang Fei is very difficult to deal with. I have suffered losses before. If I want to deal with Zhang Fei, I would rather not have the gold than fight with Zhang Fei." Enemy. Prefect Pang, I'm really sorry, I have to leave here quickly, otherwise, Zhang Fei will follow, and my life will be lost!" After hearing Pang Ji's soliloquy, Shamoke immediately acted After making a plan, he said to Pang Ji.
